Hi! Building my first pc. I currently ordered 2 x 8GB sticks of 3200 ram. My motherboard is the Z390 Aorus Pro Wifi. I am trying to understand what/how dual channel works. I want to know if in the future I can order another kit of 2 x8GB sticks to fill the 4 ram slots in my board. Or do i need to buy a 4 stick kit in the future to fill all 4 slots if that is my goal. Appreciate the knowledge and help. Thanks!

ty @ChewToy!

Yes I want to maximize my epeen! Please help!!!!!

At the moment I am not looking to overclock it. I don't know if I have the budget to move up to an unlocked CPU. I am more trying to sync up software for the RBG lighting. But also thank you for the input! Do you have any input about the RGB syncing?

Hi, I am putting together a rgb build I want to know if this motherboard and graphics card will work together. I think the motherboard uses aura sync, and I think the graphics card uses rgb fusion. Plus the rest of my build will be using a corsair obsidian 500D se case with LL fans, which will use corsair iCUE i think. Should i switch to a gigabyte motherboard? If I did I would probably want a z390 board. Could I get a recommendation. Also any other input would be awesome. Here is the partpicker link if my build.

Hi (for whoever is reading this!), I am posting today for two reasons. Reason 1: I was wondering if anyone could recommend a $1000 build build using a corsair obsidian 500D RGB case and (2x8GB) G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200 ram. I want to build an RGB computer but I also want to upgrade my current pc. (I am a noob in the pc building world/I will probably have to find someone to build it for me). About my current pc: GPU= GeForce GTX 750 Ti, Processor = AMD FX(tm)-6300 six core processor 3.5 GHz, 8GB ram (not sure what type/brand). If possible I would also love if someone could recommend an rgb build around $1000 that doesn't use those parts. I also recently acquired another monitor from a friend recently with hopes to set up a dual monitor setup. Reason 2: I wanted to know if using two monitors requires different pc parts. For example, if I want to dual monitor do I need a super amazing GPU or does ram play a more important role? My goal is to have a nice RGB setup that is more/slightly more powerful than my current setup and I want to implement dual screen monitors. Any information is welcome and thanks ahead of time!
